In just a matter of months, our country has experienced yet another national tragedy. A sense of vulnerability usually occurs in communities across the nation. Law enforcement investigates the crime to bring those responsible to justice and begins to work on prevention of another incident. We must remember to live our lives and not let incidents such as these hold us back from enjoying the time we are blessed with. If not, the offender wins and that is not affordable!

Again, we saw first responders and witnesses alike running into the face of danger to help others. Actions such as these are what continues to make our country great and what gives us hope.  

The actions of public safety in tragic incidents remind us of the many individuals that are on the frontline every day working to keep us safe. Unfortunately, there can be a price to be paid for their efforts. On May 15th, we will stop to honor the officers nationwide that have lost their lives protecting us for Peace Officer’s Memorial Day. Nationally, we have lost 120 officers in the line of duty. Seven of those are from Georgia. Keep their families in your thoughts and prayers.

Remember and respect those who are patrolling your street daily and pray for their protection as they work at keeping our communities safe.

Stay Safe!!
